The ADAMTS (A Disintegrin and Metalloproteinase with Thrombospondin motifs) family [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The ADAMTS (A Disintegrin and Metalloproteinase with Thrombospondin motifs) enzymes are secreted, multi-domain matrix-associated zinc metalloendopeptidases that have diverse roles in tissue morphogenesis and patho-physiological remodeling, in ...

A Novel Venom-Derived Peptide for Brachytherapy of Glioblastoma: Preclinical Studies in Mice

open access: yesMolecules, 2018
We developed a bacterial expression system to produce a recombinant disintegrin, vicrostatin (VCN), whose structure is based on a natural disintegrin isolated from southern copperhead snake venom.

Detectable A Disintegrin and Metalloproteinase With Thrombospondin Motifs-1 in Serum Is Associated With Adverse Outcome in Pediatric Sepsis

open access: yesCritical Care Explorations, 2021
IMPORTANCE:. A Disintegrin and Metalloproteinase with Thrombospondin Motifs-1 is hypothesized to play a role in the pathogenesis of invasive infection, but studies in sepsis are lacking. OBJECTIVES:.

The disintegrin echistatin in combination with doxorubicin targets high-metastatic human osteosarcoma overexpressing ανβ3 integrin in chick embryo and nude mouse models. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Echistatin, a cyclic RGD peptide, which is an antagonist of αvβ3 integrin (disintegrin), inhibited human osteosarcoma in the chick chorioallontoic membrane (CAM) model and tumor growth and pulmonary metastases in a nude mouse orthotopic model.

Structure-Function Relationship of the Disintegrin Family: Sequence Signature and Integrin Interaction

open access: yesFrontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2021
Disintegrins are small cysteine-rich proteins found in a variety of snake venom. These proteins selectively modulate integrin function, heterodimeric receptors involved in cell-cell and cell-matrix interaction that are widely studied as therapeutic ...

The Role of Snake Venom Disintegrins in Angiogenesis [PDF]

open access: goldToxins, 2023
Angiogenesis is a critical process in various physiological and pathological conditions, and snake venom disintegrins (SVDs) have been shown to be important regulators of this process. In this review, we explore the dual roles of SVD in angiogenesis, both as antiangiogenic agents by inhibiting integrin binding and interfering with vascular endothelial ...

The Regulation of Aggrecanase ADAMTS-4 Expression in Human Achilles Tendon and tendon-Derived Cells [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Several members of the ADAMTS (A Disintegrin And Metalloproteinase with ThromboSpondin motifs) family have been identified as aggrecanases, whose substrates include versican, the principal large proteoglycan in the tendon extracellular matrix.

The role and therapeutic targeting of α-, β- and γ-secretase in Alzheimer's disease [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common form of dementia in the elderly and its prevalence is set to increase rapidly in coming decades. However, there are as yet no available drugs that can halt or even stabilize disease progression. One of the main
